Reconstruction of human exposure to heavy metals using synchrotron radiation microbeams in prehistoric and modern humans.
OBJECTIVE Teeth can serve as records of environmental exposure to heavy metals during their formation. We applied a new technology - synchrotron radiation microbeams (SRXRF) - for analysis of heavy metals in human permanent teeth in modern and historical samples. METHODS Each tooth was cut in half. A longitudinal section 200 mum in thickness was subjected to the determination of the heavy met...

15 صفحه اولUnderstanding Radiation Damage to Cells Using Microbeams
Cellular micro-irradiation using ion beams is now recognised as a highly versatile technique for understanding how ionising radiation interacts with living cells and tissues. The strength of the micro-irradiation technique lies in its ability to deliver precise doses of radiation to selected individual cells (or sub-cellular targets) in vitro. The application of this technique in the field of r...
متن کاملHuman Placenta and Markers of Heavy Metals Exposure
In their review, Esteban-Vasallo et al. (2012) discussed the use of human placenta to evaluate bio markers of exposure to heavy metals. They correctly concluded that the use of placental tissue specimens to assess heavy metal exposure is actually under used. Surprisingly, they did not mention the well-documented relationship between mercury released from mercury-containing dental amalgam fillin...
متن کاملMicrobeams of heavy charged particles.
We have established a single cell irradiation system, which allows selected cells to be individually hit with defined number of heavy charged particles, using a collimated heavy-ion microbeam apparatus at JAERI-Takasaki. This system has been developed to study radiobiological processes in hit cells and bystander cells exposed to low dose and low dose-rate high-LET radiations, in ways that canno...
